New Fare Information

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Board voted on January 25, 2017 to approve the lowest fare increase since 2009, when the MTA first began increasing fares and tolls on a regular, biennial schedule. The new fares, which take effect March 19, will allow the MTA to continue to provide safe and reliable service.
